I'm SO excited! I went to Walter and Peters (godfather and his partner) for dinner last night and they asked me to go on a holiday with them to Lakes Entrance in early July. I can't bloody wait!

I went and taught at Pony Club today. Had lots of fun! I'm teaching theory at Sunbury Pony Club, lovely small club, nice kids, good ponies. Hopefully I can help the kids both learn something and enjoy the lesson they generally would rate last in preference! I wasn't really prepared today but got a good idea of where each kid is at and picked up all ( Read more... )

Didn't go to yoga yesterday as I had a crisis of 'I've got so much work to do' and also had to deal with some 'grown up' things ( Read more... )
